I am using 6 TIU's with two addressed with #5. Tonight when I went to run the trains I could not start the engine in my receiving yard. TIU #3 runs the receiving yard and some other tracks. I see that TIU #3 is only blinking 1 time. I have Barry book but am confused on how to change the #3 TIU from #1 back to #3 without losing the AIU info for #3. There are 5 AIU's connected to #3.
Any help with be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Joe

The information for the devices connected to the AiU's is in the handheld You wont lose any data If you would feel safer copy the remote data to a pc. As for addressing the TIU's you need to power off all the TIU's except the one you want to change Change it from 1 to 3 through the edit TIU menus After you do that you have to add TIU 1 and then power all the rest on You should be back to normal You will need to Super the TIU's again
BTW how did the address change Was somebody messing with your remotes
To do this without any issues or loss of information, you need to use a spare remote. If you don’t have a spare remote, first upload a copy of your remote to a PC.
Then, Reset a remote, delete TIU #1 and add TIU #3.
Next, power up only TIU #3 and change it to TIU #1.
If you Reset the layout remote after backing it up, restore it from the PC.
BLUELINEC$ and Barry,
Thanks for your help. I got it to work. I had the remove the TIU from the layout and use a tether to fix it with a small power pack I have for such things.
Thanks
Joe
